Ayurveda therapies for frozen shoulder

1. Abhyanga – Application of medicated oil all over the body followed by herbal steam bath – This increases the blood circulation all over the body especially on the affected joints indirectly helps to improve the healing. This is very effective to prevent frozen shoulder and other joint problems for Diabetic and Psoriasis patients.

2. Pizchil – Application of warm medicated oil on the affected joints. This improves the movements and reduces the pain in no time. This treatment improves the condition better than surgery. Patients usually after 24-21 days of this therapy come back to normalcy both in terms of functionally and physically.

3. Mudga Navara Kizhi – It is a special Ayurveda formulation with Green Gram, Rice, herbs and milk. All boiled together and applied as hot paste in and around the affected joint. This rejuvenates joint and physically increases the hylourenic acid in the joints. This treatment usually recommended for 14-21 days after Pizchil to rejuvenate the joints.

1 part of green gram + ½ part of fresh ginger – soaked in water for 2 hours, both grinded and made as paste. This paste is applied over the shoulder after warming the pan for 5 minutes. Cover it with a cloth and leave it for 15 minutes followed by warm water shower. This not only reduces the pain but gradually improves shoulder movements too.
